first gear, launching off after I rev my engine, after I put the key in ignition, rpm is almost at the limit, before I initiate shifting second gear back tires burned out a little bit feeling that rush I'm gripping on the steering wheel going fast pass that roadkill car lower to the ground knowing how the road feel pushing that Chevy to the max like I ain't never going have time to relax couldn't tell if I was going to make it through the light so I smashed on the brakes left Smoke in the back neutral Mustang pulls up on the side of me, he going launch soon as he sees the green, he want me to do the same thing, challenge accepted agreed
speeding up life's getting faster opportunities waiting it's a new chapter, the thought of slowing down is my fear, that's why I'm living life on high gear, nobody's going to stop me on the top is just where I'll be on high gear, I'm hot and I'm going to rock it on the spot if you riding come on
(First gear) I'm about to perform on stage, waiting for people to shout out my name, drinks in the air the bartenders paid, anxiety settling time to blaze, (second gear) running on stage full of energy showing these people how I do it so lyrically giving it my all and my everything never know who may be in the audience listening, all kind of people in the industry who I know for a fact would be feeling me, trying to get this real money international California to the Philippines, (neutral) I aint stopping until im getting heard, being famous seems like it is a curse, to me the question is what is it worth, let me see how far i can take it first.
(First gear), I aint smoking but yeah I know some dealers, watch em weigh it and put it in the ceiling, all of a sudden I'm getting this feeling, that I want to have a part in the dealing, (second gear) cuz I want to have a better car, live life on the edge but at least I'll be living large, shouldn't be that hard, especially if I'm not going to be the one to be given harm, making money faster than I ever did feeling like I'm on top feeling like a veteran, til the cops come bussing in, at the last second thinking that I could have been a better man, (neutral) now there's definitely another way, gotta listen to what my mother say, go to college just like my brother's ways, but that feeling may come another day
